Five games into the Champions Trophy and we have had two washouts. Australia have been part of both those games. With only two points from two, they are in a must-win situation when take on England in their final encounter. On the other hand, Bangladesh still have a chance and it will depend upon other results. So, Group A might as well be determined by how the weather plays for the coming week. Time to hit the sack. Another cracker coming up tomorrow - England versus New Zealand, that is if rain permits and to be honest, it does not look very promising. For now, on behalf of my fellow commentators, Vineet Anantharaman, Sagar Chawla, Abhinand Raghavendran, MS Ramakrishnan and scorer Praveen chintalapudi, this is Akshay Maanay calling it a night.

Mortaza: Australia were unlucky, while on the other hand, we are lucky to stay alive in the tournament. Not the way we like to, but we can't do anything. This point will help us a lot. We have to play a harder game. We recently beat New Zealand in Ireland, so you never know. We knew it was always going to be hard. Tamim batted well, but there was no support. Their bowlers were up to the mark. Tamim was phenomenal today and hopefully he will continue and other batsmen can support him.

Smith: It was disappointing not to get a game in today. We were heading down a pretty good path. Disappointing not to get a result. It is a virtual quarterfinal now. Tough match, but a simple equation. They were much better today, hit some good areas and challenged the Bangladeshi batsmen. All of them bowled extremely well to restrict them to 180. Time in the middle is always valuable. Can't do much about the weather and now we have to move on from here. They were two left-hand batters for a long time and there was a strong breezy blowing as well. I thought Head bowled quite well. So it was simple to get Zampa on as soon as a right-hander came in.

Earlier in the day, the Australian bowlers answered their captain's strong comments after the New Zealand game with a spirited bowling performance. Hazlewood and Cummins kept it tight in the beginning and Starc unleashed himself upon the tail, ending with a 4-fer. Only Tamim showed any sort of application for Bangladesh as he followed up his hundred against England with a 114-ball 95.

Australia surprised most of us with their sturdy approach. When everyone expected them to come all guns blazing, Warner and Finch employed a more cautious strategy. They were willing to get their eye in and then take on the bowlers rather than go berserk. Smith's gameplan was also similar when he came in at the fall of Finch. The only reason for that kind of ploy might be that they thought it was near impossible to chase down 183 in whatever overs were possible before the rain interruption.

21:19 Local Time, 20:19 GMT, 01:49 IST: And that is that. The game has been abandoned. What luck for Australia! Survived one against New Zealand and came out with a point, and here where they were on course for a victory, they have to settle with one point. However, what it means is - Australia and Bangladesh are both still in contention for a semifinal berth.

20:51 Local Time, 19:51 GMT, 01:21 IST: "Raining pretty hard now. I'd say that will be that I'm afraid," is the latest Tristan pings to say. That's news - good or bad depending on which side you belong.

20:17 Local Time, 19:17 GMT, 00:47 IST: Well all that excitement has gone to waste. The rain is back and so are the groundsmen with the covers. Restart at 20:30 looks unlikely for now. The wait will have to continue.. "Few of the Bangladeshi fans cheer as the covers come back on," states Tristan.

20:12 Local Time, 19:12 GMT, 00:42 IST: Hurrah! We have great news. Restart at 20:30 local. It will be a shortened game, but we are awaiting the confirmation of the overs lost. The game has been reduced to 43 overs. The target for Australia is 172, which means they require 89 runs from 27 overs.

20:00 Local Time, 19:00 GMT, 00:30 IST: The umpires are making their way out to the middle. Darren Lehmann, the Australian coach, is out there with some of the substitutes. Most of the covers are off. The pitch is still under cover though. Llong, Gaffaney and Ravi are having a word with the groundsmen. Meanwhile, Warner is warming up in the dressing room.

19:40 Local Time, 18:40 GMT, 00:10 IST: Well, here is the good news. The rain has stopped and all the main covers are being peeled off. The umpires are also out in the middle to inspect the conditions. If it remains this way, we should have play soon. "Umpires have confirmed there will be a further inspection at 8pm, which is in 20 minutes' time," Tristan updates.

19:35 Local Time, 18:35 GMT, 00:05 IST: The live pictures show that the rain has steadied down and the groundsmen are on the field. The first task for them will be to get the water off the covers, which they have started to do. Hopefully we will have some good news soon.

19:23 Local Time, 18:23 GMT, 23:53 IST: "Still raining, albeit lightly. The latest we can restart in order to squeeze in the four overs we need for a completed game is 9.59pm. That's still two and a half hours away," pings Tristan.

18:43 Local Time, 17:43 GMT, 23:13 IST: It was drinks time, but umpire Llong instead calls for the covers. Would have been ridiculous had drinks been taken at this stage. We are four overs away from getting a result and Australia are well ahead of the DLS score, which is 39 for 16 overs. There is a strong wind blowing across the ground as the pitch is being covered. The Bangladeshi fans are still enthusiastic as they try to grab the attention of some of the players. Hope that we get a small window of play, just enough to complete the match. Keep those fingers crossed!

The umbrellas are out and so are the jackets. The rain is round the corner and Tristan Holme gives us an update from the ground - "The radar suggests that if we go off, we're unlikely to get back on." Oops!

14.5

Rubel to Warner, no run, another good delivery from Rubel. Shortens the length and extracts a bit more from the surface. Warner is surprised, camps back and dead bats it down the wicket. He was hit high on the bat and the gloves come off immediately. Smith goes up and has a word with him

14.4

Rubel to Warner, no run, skids through and catches the inside edge of Warner's bat, the ball deflects onto the pad and drops into leg-side

13.3

Mortaza to Warner, no run, finger roller from Mortaza, on a length and close to off, Warner presses it to cover after coming forward

13.2

Mortaza to Smith, 1 run, straight batted push down the ground to the length delivery and a quick single stolen. All too easy at the moment

13.1

Mortaza to Smith, no run, loopy slower just outside off, Smith drives and picks out mid-on

12.6

Rubel to Warner, no run, there's the skiddy pace rushing the batsman, Warner thought it was there to be pulled and went for the shot, the ball hurried onto him and took the upper part of the bat, dribbled away to mid-on. He was all cramped up there Warner

12.5

Rubel to Smith, 1 run, short of length just outside off, Smith goes on his toes and punches square on the off-side

12.4

Rubel to Smith, 2 runs, Rubel might be quick, but he is not quick enough to trouble the Australian batsmen with the short ball, Smith had all the time to get into position and place the pull wide of deep square leg, a dive was required to save the boundary

12.3

Rubel to Warner, 1 run, bread and butter for Warner, short of length and around the hips, he is on one leg to help it square on the leg-side

Rubel Hossain [2.0-0-11-1] is back into the attack

Change of ends for Rubel..

11.6

Mortaza to Warner, 1 run, this cutter does not bounce as much as Warner expected it to, but adjusts well to steer it away to third man

11.5

Mortaza to Smith, 1 run, back of a length and breaking back in, nurdled round the corner - to backward square leg

11.4

11.3

Mortaza to Warner, no run, Mortaza has resorted to slower deliveries, this one deviates off the surface and leaves Warner groping at it, he was looking to defend and the ball tailed away to beat the outside edge

11.2

Mortaza to Smith, 1 run, decking from a length and Smith played outside the line, wanted to drive it through cover and the ball took the inner portion of the bat and rolled down the ground

10.6

Mehedi Hasan to Warner, no run, pitches it up with a lot of flight and Warner drills the drive straight to extra cover

Slip moves to short extra cover..

10.5

Mehedi Hasan to Warner, no run, better. Slows it up and draws Warner into the forward defensive

10.4

Mehedi Hasan to Smith, 1 run, strays onto the pads and Smith picks him off to the right of the square leg umpire, thought about the second but decide against it, wise decision

10.3

Mehedi Hasan to Warner, 1 run, flatter and outside off, Warner directs it square on the off-side with an open bat face

10.2

Mehedi Hasan to Smith, 1 run, once more Mehedi is touch quicker and Smith is hanging back to punch it past Warner for a single to long-on

10.1

Mehedi Hasan to Warner, 1 run, starts from round the wicket and pushes it through around off, Warner presents the full face and eases it through extra cover, sweeper tidies up

Mehedi Hasan, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

So, the rain has stayed away. We need 10 more overs to get a game. The pace is only going to pick up with the introduction of spin - Mehedi on. Does he have a slip? Yes, a very fine one

9.6

Rubel to Warner, 1 run, nudges it off his hips wide of mid-on

9.5

Rubel to Warner, no run, a cutter perhaps? There's width on offer there and Warner chases it, but it doesn't bounce a great deal and he misses out

9.4

Rubel to Warner, no run, not for the first time he's misjudged the length and gone for the pull. Rubel is more of a skiddy customer than someone who generates bounce. Sneaks under Warner

9.3

Rubel to Warner, no run, back of a length just outside off, Warner defends wide of point

9.2

Rubel to Smith, 1 run, shuffles across and picks it off the stumps through mid-wicket

9.1

Rubel to Warner, 1 run, slightly surprised that Warner didn't go harder at that. It was pitched right up, and he just jabs it to the left of mid-off

8.6

Mustafizur to Smith, no run, steers it into the off-side

8.5

Mustafizur to Smith, no run, back of a length on off, another cutter, blocked from the crease

8.4

Mustafizur to Smith, 2 runs, high full toss well wide of off, Smith is too eager to capitalize through the covers and ends up getting there early, thereby sending a thick inside edge down the ground. Even his edges find the gap. Two more

8.3

Mustafizur to Smith, FOUR, plays it uppishly, but plays it in the gap. A bit casual from Smith there, at least that's the impression he gave. Half-volley outside off, the feet go nowhere and he just lazes the drive through cover. On replays, the shot looks much more in control and it's come right off the middle. Knew what he was doing and split the field perfectly

8.2

Mustafizur to Smith, no run, full on off, rolling his fingers across the ball, Smith defends to mid-off

8.1

Mustafizur to Smith, no run, brilliant yorker on leg-stump, Smith had to be quick there to dig it out to mid-wicket

Rubel to Smith, 3 runs, finds his timing first ball. This man is in remarkable form. Anything straight, and he just clips you away all day. They come back for three before long leg tidies up

Steven Smith, right handed bat, comes to the crease

7.5

Rubel to Finch, out Lbw!! Finch plays back to a ball which skids through and nails him right in front. No question he should have been forward to that. Once he decided to stay in the crease, the skid which Rubel generates off a length hurried Finch rapidly and he was a goner. Finch lbw b Rubel 19(27) [4s-3]

Rubel to Finch, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

7.4

Rubel to Finch, FOUR, he picked that up and got into position very quickly. Short of length, Finch uses the pace and helps the pull backward of square. He was mindful of the fielder in the deep, who was at square leg, and played it to the right of him. One bounce and over the ropes

7.3

Rubel to Finch, no run, cutting in towards off from a back of length, Finch hangs back in defence

7.2

Rubel to Warner, 1 run, nudges it to the left of mid-on

7.1

Rubel to Warner, no run, Rubel starts a spell with a full and wide one, and is lucky to get away with it. Warner fails to squeeze it past point

Rubel Hossain, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

Australia haven't quite tore the house down like I thought they would, but they're still going at a brisk rate. Not a bad idea actually for these two to play themselves into some form

6.6

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, fullish around off, Finch hangs back - probably looking to wind up - but sees the lack of pace and checks it into the short cover region

6.5

Mustafizur to Warner, 1 run, slants it into middle and leg, Warner tucks him wide of mid-wicket

6.4

Mustafizur to Finch, 1 run, steers the off-cutter wide of cover

6.3

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, mighty heave-ho from Finch, the ball doesn't go too far though. He skews it off the inside half, and is stopped by a diving mid-wicket

6.2

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, the off-cutter zips past the outside edge! It wouldn't have mattered had the edge been found, because it fell well short of the keeper

6.1

Mustafizur to Warner, 1 run, that's good from Finch. He pressed Warner for the single after the latter had defended one off the back foot in front of mid-wicket

5.6

Mortaza to Finch, no run, nips back in nicely but just doesn't have the pace in it to trouble Finch. Blunted into the off-side

5.6

Mortaza to Finch, wide, down the leg-side, and on the bounce to the keeper

5.5

Mortaza to Warner, 1 run, takes a couple of steps at Mortaza, who shortens his length, and Warner nudges him through square leg

5.4

Mortaza to Finch, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Finch chops down to third man

Mortaza to Warner, FOUR, a one-legged whip through backward square, and this has been brilliantly timed. Short of length, just over waist high, and Warner gets his wrists over the ball beautifully

5.1

Mortaza to Finch, 1 run, short of length on middle, Finch jabs it in front of mid-on

4.6

Mustafizur to Warner, 2 runs, steered to the left of backward point who lets it through despite a dive. They come back for two

4.5

Mustafizur to Warner, no run, cracker. That's done quite a bit off the seam. Back of a length, decking away in the corridor as Warner lacks intent in his back foot push. Beats him on the outside edge

4.4

Mustafizur to Warner, no run, well disguised slower one from Mustafizur. The length is full but Warner is hanging back to it. Keeps it out

4.3

Mustafizur to Warner, FOUR, very streaky, but four. Don't think it was all that short, but Warner wants to pull it ferociously through mid-wicket. He gets lucky as the under-edge misses leg-stump and races away to the fine leg boundary

4.2

Mustafizur to Finch, 1 run, the off-cutter is on the shorter side and Finch tucks it wide of mid-on

4.1

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, right through Finch. He's beaten by the pace because he's hung back to a ball which he should have been forward to. It skids through to the keeper before the bat could come down

3.6

Mortaza to Finch, 1 run, thick inside edge onto thigh pad, the ball drops beside the pitch and they race across for the single

3.5

Mortaza to Finch, 2 runs, Bangladesh haven't held one line so far. Straying on leg-stump too often. Finch nurdles him round the corner and gets back for two, seeing that he played it in the gap

3.4

Mortaza to Finch, no run, back of a length around off, Finch punches firmly but cannot hit the gap in the off-side

3.3

Mortaza to Finch, no run, slower ball, 117kph, although with Mortaza you never know. That's sometimes all his body can allow. Finch plays it back down the pitch

3.2

Mortaza to Finch, FOUR, too easy. The ball hasn't swung a great deal all tournament and that's what Mortaza was trying for. Pitches it right up in the hope of outswing but strays on leg-stump and Finch glances him fine. Very crafty tickle actually

3.1

Mortaza to Warner, 1 run, clipped away off the hips through square leg

2.6

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, played away gently into the off-side

2.5

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, wants to launch this into outer space, that's how powerful the swing was. But Mustafizur's angle, as well as the off-cutter, causes the ball to beat the outside edge

2.4

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, an off-cutter from a good length, no real grip, Finch steers into the off-side

2.3

Mustafizur to Finch, FOUR, chops it to the boundary. That's raced away with the timing. Mustafizur errs on the shorter side, provides room and Finch has no troubles at all in dispatching it through point

2.2

Mustafizur to Finch, no run, pushes it across the right-hander from a good length, Finch lets it go

2.1

Mustafizur to Warner, leg byes, 1 run, highly ambitious appeal with the ball clearly going down leg. In fact, Warner would be disappointed at missing out

1.6

Mortaza to Finch, no run, back of a length on middle, Finch clips it well but cannot get it past short mid-wicket

1.5

Mortaza to Finch, no run, opens the bat-face and punches it straight to backward point

1.4

Mortaza to Finch, no run, some nibble for Mortaza off a short of length, Finch tries to punch it through the covers but is beaten on the edge. Very late shape there

1.3

Mortaza to Finch, no run, blocks it off the back foot into the off-side

1.2

Mortaza to Finch, no run, short of length, Finch dead-bats it from the crease

1.1

Mortaza to Warner, 1 run, that could have been close had the fielder picked up the ball cleanly. Warner nudges in front of mid-wicket and they risk a single despite the ball going close to the fielder. Finch was struggling there

Mashrafe Mortaza, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

Just getting news that Wahab Riaz has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to the injury he picked up against India.

0.6

Mustafizur to Warner, 3 runs, stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and punches it through cover-point. Another chase from the infield, and this time Bangladesh manage to save a single

0.5

Mustafizur to Warner, 4 runs, picks the gap this time. Full into leg-stump, Warner rolls his wrists and just eases it away through mid-wicket. The ball is rolling away to the biggest part of the ground, and it's a laborious chase for the fielder. Meanwhile, they've run four

0.4

Mustafizur to Warner, no run, skiddy good length ball, not much swing so far, Warner defends it towards mid-on. Just a little stride forward

0.3

Mustafizur to Warner, no run, strays in line and Warner misses out. Clips it off the hips straight to square leg

0.2

Mustafizur to Warner, no run, fraction fuller than a good length, Warner's feet aren't exactly balanced as he defends it on the move back down to Mustafizur

0.1

Mustafizur to Warner, no run, beats him first ball. Not a lot of shape, just straightened a bit from a good length. The line is in the channel, and Warner is tentative in defence

Warner and Finch are at the crease. Warner is on strike. Mustafizur will open the attack

Still very overcast, but we are going to get the action restarted. Pretty sure Australia will come out like a freight train to prevent being robbed by the weather. Mustafizur with the new ball. A slip for Warner. Fine leg up. Let's go. Change of plans - fine leg goes back and square leg comes up. Now they're ready..

17:15 Local Time, 16:15 GMT, 21:45 IST: Okay, so Tristan Holme has this from the ground: "The covers are being taken off". Since the rain hasn't been heavy, it wouldn't take too much time to get the ground ready I'm assuming. As I say that, Tristan brings news of a 17.30 local restart. Sit tight folks, we might be having a dash from Warner and Finch to knock this off quickly.

Weather update from the Oval: Live pictures coming in show that it's spitting a bit right now, and the covers are being brought out. Not heavy, but don't think they can get onto the park unless it stops. Radar doesn't look too promising either. Australia got away with one the other day, now will they be denied one today? Doesn't look good: the ground-staff bringing in more and more covers. They'd know.

Starc: Hopefully the skipper is happy with that or he might get a few short ones (chuckles). All round, a lot cleaner with the ball. It was quite windy and quite cold as well because of which there wasn't much swing. Josh got it moving a little bit off the wicket when the ball was hard. A lot more disciplined from us today to keep Bangladesh down to 182. It has been three months since I got a wicket; nice to get a few and contribute with the ball. We spoke about it after the game with New Zealand. Let's hope the weather could clear out and let the batsman do their bit.

16:43 Local Time, 15:43 GMT, 21:13 IST: That was quick at the death. Four wickets in nine balls for Starc has ended Bangladesh's hopes of playing out their fifty overs. He's almost unplayable when the ball starts reversing even marginally, especially against the lower-order. An impeccable bowling performance from Australia today, improving exponentially from the one against New Zealand which, by Smith's own admission, was disappointing. Actually, Starc didn't hit his straps in the beginning like he did towards the end. It was Hazlewood and Cummins who built a lot of pressure. Bangladesh were timid in their approach, or maybe they just lacked the skill of dealing with a top-class attack in conditions which offered a little bit, not a lot, to the bowlers. If not for Tamim's effort, they could have been a trainwreck. If rain stays away, which is looking very dicey right now, Australia should run home with this. We'll be back for the chase. Stay tuned..

44.3

Starc to Mehedi Hasan, out Bowled!! Starc finishes with four. Bangladesh wrapped up for 182, as the drizzle continues to persist at the Oval. The same formula for Starc at the death - full, swinging away late and shattering the stumps at gun speed. Mehedi drives inside the line of the ball due to the swing, as they all do. Good night! Mehedi Hasan b Starc 14(26) [4s-1]

Starc to Mehedi Hasan, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

44.2

Starc to Mustafizur, 1 run, moves leg-side again and makes contact as he slices a full ball past point. There could have been two there, but try convincing Mustafizur. No chance. No damn chance

44.1

Starc to Mustafizur, no run, moves away from the line of the ball, more due to the fear of it than anything else. Eventually, he moves too far away and leaves it alone

43.6

Pat Cummins to Mehedi Hasan, no run, they are loving it, these Aussie quicks. They smell blood against these hapless lower-order batsmen. Banged in short, climbs on Mehedi and zooms past his bat-shoulder through to the keeper. Just couldn't get on top of the bounce as he tried fending it off

43.5

Pat Cummins to Mehedi Hasan, no run, that's serious heat from Cummins. The speed-gun shows 86mph, but it absolutely flew through to the keeper from the middle of the pitch. Mehedi's attempted hook missed by some distance

43.4

Pat Cummins to Mehedi Hasan, no run, backs away again and this time Cummins targets the stumps, Mehedi is able to get bat on ball as he drives to mid-off

43.3

Pat Cummins to Mehedi Hasan, no run, Mehedi backs away, Cummins follows him with a short ball and tests his reflexes on the pull shot. They're not quick enough. Thick under-edge into the ground and through to the keeper

43.2

Pat Cummins to Mehedi Hasan, no run, short of length, cutting in slightly, Mehedi stays put and dead-bats it

43.1

Pat Cummins to Mehedi Hasan, no run, short of length on off, Mehedi defends from the crease

Pat Cummins [7.0-0-22-1] is back into the attack

42.6

Starc to Mustafizur, no run, this time he errs slightly on leg, and Mustafizur clips him through square leg. They don't run. A triple wicket-maiden for Starc

42.5

Starc to Mustafizur, no run, and he nearly had it. He so nearly had it. That's missed off-stump by about an inch I'd say. A yorker from hell, bending back in deviously and zipping through Mustafizur's defence. Oh so close

Mustafizur Rahman, left handed bat, comes to the crease

42.4

Starc to Rubel, out Bowled!! Two in two! Three unplayable balls in a row to follow the steepler to Tamim. That's how good he is at the death. Full, fast, bending away late from round the wicket and shatters off and middle as Rubel misses it by a mile. On a hat-trick now! Rubel b Starc 0(1)

Starc to Rubel, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Rubel Hossain, right handed bat, comes to the crease

42.3

Starc to Mortaza, out Bowled!! An absolute jaffa. Some of the very top batsmen in the world would struggle to keep that out, let alone Mortaza. It's only a slight adjustment in line from the previous ball. Slung in from wide, the ball tails away late, whizzes past the outside edge and cleans up leg-stump. Mortaza b Starc 0(2)

Starc to Mortaza, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

42.2

Starc to Mortaza, no run, what a delivery! Play that, Mortaza. He's renowned for this, is Starc. Speared in full, yorker length, and the ball tails away late. Squares Mortaza up and misses off-stump by a whisker

Mashrafe Mortaza, right handed bat, comes to the crease

42.1

Starc to Tamim, out Caught by Hazlewood!! That's gut-wrenching for Tamim Iqbal. There won't be back to back hundreds for him. A short of length delivery, the ball cramps Tamim up and gets big on him and he sends a top-edge flying in the direction of fine leg. Really good catch from Hazlewood, running forward and diving - all the while keeping his eyes on the ball. Bangladesh in serious danger of being bowled out. Tamim c Hazlewood b Starc 95(114) [4s-6 6s-3]

Starc to Tamim, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

41.6

Starc from round the wicket, and will look to tail it away like he usually does

36.6

Zampa to Mahmudullah, out Bowled!! No need to appeal for this. A very ordinary shot from the experienced Mahmudullah. It was pushed through quicker just outside off, probably the flipper. Mahmudullah backed away to cut it. Too close to be playing that and pays the price. Gets an inside edge that cannons onto the stumps. What a start for Zampa. Two overs - 2 wickets for just three runs. Mahmudullah b Zampa 8(11) [6s-1]

Zampa to Mahmudullah, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

36.5

Zampa to Mahmudullah, no run, appeal for lbw and Australia after a discussion decide not to review. A leg-break from Zampa, Mahmudullah plays all around it and gets pinged on the front leg in front of leg-stump. Must be sliding down leg

Head to Shakib, out Lbw!! Shakib is given out lbw and he straightaway reviews. Surely no bat. The only question is the impact. Fair delivery. Impact is umpire's call and hitting the stumps. Shakib has to go and this is a big wicket. The idea to persist with Head has worked. Seeing the batsman come down the track, the bowler fired in from a shorter length. There was no flight whatsoever. Shakib is cramped for room and fails to put bat on ball. He is pinged adjacent to the line of off-stump. Hitting middle of middle. Shakib lbw b Head 29(48) [4s-2]

Head to Shakib, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

22.1

Henriques to Tamim, no run, fullish ball, poked into the off-side

21.6

Starc to Shakib, 2 runs, dropped!Maxwell is the culprit. It came at a brisk pace, but still had to be taken. Shakib sees the width outside off and throws his bat hard at it.

An update from our correspondent, Tristan Holme: "Great concern here about the weather forecast, with rain expected to arrive some time between 5pm and 7pm and quite possibly end the game prematurely. Not that Bangladesh fans are letting that (or the early wickets) stop them from having a grand day out - they've created an excellent atmosphere so far."

18.6

Henriques to Tamim, no run, on a good length. A kill down off the front foot

18.5

Henriques to Shakib, 1 run, wants a ramp. Without quite the room available. Sends it through the cordon off the bat sticker

18.4

Henriques to Shakib, 2 runs, overcooked. A half volley as juicy as it could get and gets a violent slash of the bat. Smashing it away with a stoopy whack. Pretty much square and some sliding tackle at the fence keeps it down to a couple

18.3

Henriques to Shakib, no run, the military medium. Pushed out off the front foot into the off-side

18.2

Henriques to Shakib, no run, marginally fuller. And on the top of off as well. Keeps the bat stuck to the pad in defence

18.1

Henriques to Shakib, no run, bangs it in short. On the abdomen. Hurries up on the pull as Shakib keeps it out with a massively mistimed pull - as far as the bowler

17.6

Head to Tamim, no run, gripping. Turning. Back, across and behind in a straight batted block

17.5

Head to Shakib, 1 run, steps with a reaching stride. And follows it up with a smearing down to long-off

17.1

16.6

Henriques to Shakib, no run, looks to glance it away off the legs. Too quick for the bat-connect to come out right

16.5

Henriques to Shakib, no run, closer to the sticks this time. Denies the room as well. A respect

16.4

Henriques to Shakib, FOUR, off and running. With a certain degree of disdain. Gets a freebie for help though - one sitter - too short, too wide. Jumps up and latches on it to flay it through point

16.3

Henriques to Shakib, no run, angling across off a good length. On the sticks and defended back

Shakib Al Hasan, left handed bat, comes to the crease

16.2

Henriques to Rahim, out Lbw!! Pinned. Dead. Right in the front and Rahim doesn't bother himself or the third umpire with a review. He doesn't even entertain thoughts of one. Talk about seam-in, this one comes back in with the angle rather viciously trapping the falling over front leg and then ricocheting onto the back leg. The two noises there. And UltraEdge shows a spike while the ball passes the bat. Oh dear. Either the technology or Mushfiqur - someone needs an appointment with the psychiatrist. Hot Spot spots it too. Rahim lbw b Henriques 9(20)

Henriques to Rahim, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

16.1

Henriques to Rahim, no run, takes it on the pads. An in-cutter off the track. Eekes out an inside edge into the pitch

Time to sip some water. Grab some energy as well. Well the bowling has been pretty immaculate all afternoon. With the ball fizzing around minus the swing. The batting watchful. With Tamim having laid the foundation for himself, the explosion could be coming. It better be coming for Bangladesh.

15.6

Head to Rahim, 1 run, backs away and steers it to backward point

15.5

Head to Rahim, 2 runs, that's nicely played. Exposed the leg stick, tempted Head, it was actually down the leg-side, looked like Rahim paddled that off the bat, but the replay shows that the ball bounced and missed everyone. Should have been a wide that

15.4

Head to Rahim, no run, knocked into the on-side once again

15.3

Head to Rahim, no run, uppish sweep shot, but on the bounce to the man at square leg. Couldn't keep this down as the ball came quickly onto him

15.1

Head to Rahim, no run, waits and works it away towards square leg

14.6

14.5

Henriques to Rahim, 1 run, uses the space outside off and steers it away to third man

14.4

Henriques to Rahim, no run, as expected Bangladesh will look to target Henriques, Rahim charges down and the ball does not arrive, he's early into the cross-batted swat and the inside edge does not miss the leg-stump by much

14.3

Henriques to Rahim, no run, back of a length and on off, Rahim is right behind the line to block

14.2

Henriques to Tamim, 1 run, a sitter. Not short enough to cause trouble as Tamim lays into it with a flat bat. Mid-wicket having to clean up

14.1

Henriques to Rahim, 1 run, dishes out generous width to start off with. An angled batted run down to third man

Moises Henriques, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

13.6

Head to Tamim, no run, steps out and is not to the pitch of the ball, the inside edge rolls off the pad back to the bowler

13.5

Head to Tamim, no run, a dance down. To take on a full toss. With all odds in his favour he swings and is undone by the drift coming in. A meek hack off the inside half straight to mid-wicket

13.4

12.6

Pat Cummins to Rahim, no run, once more Cummins pitches it up while attacking the stumps, Rahim drives and finds mid-on

12.5

Pat Cummins to Tamim, 1 run, fullish and Tamim's eyes lit up seeing the width on that, gave everything on the drive and only managed a toe-end to third man

12.5

Pat Cummins to Tamim, wide, way outside off stump, ignored

12.4

Pat Cummins to Tamim, no run, a flash. With the feet refusing to move. The ball like a girl being stalked keeps moving away

12.3

Pat Cummins to Tamim, no run, goes short. Gets it to rev up off a length. Wide enough for a sway away

12.2

Pat Cummins to Tamim, no run, shortens the length and cramps Tamim for room, a soft tap in front of mid-on

11.6

Hazlewood to Tamim, 1 run, shuffles across a long way and wrists the length delivery wide of mid-on

11.5

Hazlewood to Rahim, 1 run, the closed eye pull. Another short ball, another hurried pull, another top-edge, another safe land. This time in front of fine leg

11.4

Hazlewood to Tamim, 1 run, attempted ramp. Ends up digging it into the track off the under edge, and through a diving wide slip

11.2

Pat Cummins to Tamim, no run, on a good length in the tight lines. Striding forward with the bat and pad in close proximity in defence

10.5

Pat Cummins to Tamim, wide, too short. And down leg as well. Safely sitting under it to lay his hands on an extra

10.4

Pat Cummins to Rahim, 1 run, attempts to play inside the line as the ball takes the outside edge to run past the lone slip to third man

10.3

Pat Cummins to Rahim, no run, a short one to the short man. Kicking up off a good length and Rahim ignores

Mushfiqur Rahim, right handed bat, comes to the crease

10.2

Pat Cummins to Kayes, out Caught by Finch!! Very soft. Very tame. Kayes refuses to commit to his drive. Sees the width and decides to go uppish with some sort of a loft. Only to have doubts in the end forcing him to check his shot with the ball zooming it at serious clicks. Does and ends up chipping it off the upper-outside half of the bat for cover-point to take a low grab. Kayes c Finch b Pat Cummins 6(16)

Pat Cummins to Kayes, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

10.1

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, in the box. After opening him up with the angle. Once again the slant refuses to get the bat in the way as it takes the pad square

9.6

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, teases him with a wide liner. Tamim goes after it with a walk, a stretch and a poke. Nowhere close

9.5

Hazlewood to Kayes, 1 run, ramps the bat out, uses the width and runs it past the cordon

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, wants a form of a Natraj pull for himself. Just not short enough. But who is Tamim to stick to the norms. Swivels as he looks to break the mundane. Gets a kiss on the glove and falls well short of Wade charging with a dive. Nope, off the thigh pad I am told

9.2

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, on the money once again. Denies even an iota of room for some take on. Pushed out to short mid-wicket

9.1

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, knocks the defence into his own boot. With a trek going backwards into the crease

8.6

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, back to the fullish side. Drives uppishly but all mistimed to mid-on

8.5

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, the climb. Envious. Has Kayes in a backward arc with the ball kicking up and flying past the glove going up in compulsion

8.4

Pat Cummins to Tamim, 1 run, to mid on, 146kph, fullish, on middle. Gets out a wrist towards mid-on, and he hares across. Talk about getting away from the examination

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, pulls the length back. Makes Kayes hop up as he gets the bat up too in time to kill it down off the sticker

8.1

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, slanting away starting from the widish angle from over the wicket. A sturdy defence in the end

Well the clouds were talked up to aid swing. But if Starc and Hazlewood haven't found any it could only mean that it hasn't arrived in the UK as yet

7.6

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, 135kph, the military stuff on top of off. A respectful defence

7.5

Hazlewood to Kayes, 1 run, keeps the bat closer to the body this time and times his steer right in guiding it to third man

7.4

Hazlewood to Kayes, no run, the trademark. Perfect seam presented as the ball holds its line on hitting the deck with the poking blade searching for a feel of the leather off the front foot. A play and a miss

7.3

Hazlewood to Kayes, 2 runs, hacks, across the line. Way too full to be playing these - or so would the traditionalists say. Swings hard and skews it around the corner

7.2

Hazlewood to Tamim, 1 run, on the hips. A calm glance off a closed blade. Keeps fine leg busy

7.1

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, 134kph, jagging away off a length. Squares himself up does Tamim as he nudges it into the on-side. All as a form of defence

6.6

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, 141kph, pushes him back with the dragged back length. On the bounce to bunt it under his eyeline

6.5

Pat Cummins to Kayes, no run, much better. Gets it on the top of off at 146kph. A defensive guide follows to point

6.4

Pat Cummins to Tamim, 1 run, a tad on middle for a change off a good length. Keeps the wrists real soft does Tamim as he runs this through mid-wicket

6.3

Pat Cummins to Kayes, 1 run, 145kph, another straight one. Too straight i.e.. Another wrist to the other side of fine leg this time

6.2

Pat Cummins to Tamim, 1 run, 145kph, on the leg-lines again. Clipped away with a certain degree of ease down to long leg

6.1

Pat Cummins to Tamim, 2 runs, a spray down leg. A warm up line. Fetches it from well down in the form of a flick to tease fine leg making him run square

Pat Cummins, right-arm fast, comes into the attack

5.6

Hazlewood to Tamim, 1 run, a miscue, a top-edge and he rides his luck. Takes on the short ball aiming for the badge with his eyes looking elsewhere. Throws his bat up as the ball climbs up, gains in angle and takes the upper slice to evade a converging mid-wicket and mid-on. Both running behind

5.5

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, half behind and allows the ball to get on par with his eyeline as he dabs it down to point

5.4

Hazlewood to Kayes, 1 run, off and running with a confident looking/sounding stride forward to cream it away through the covers

5.3

Hazlewood to Kayes, no run, starts off with a back footed defence. Behind the line in a dead bat

Imrul Kayes, left handed bat, comes to the crease

5.2

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by Wade!! The follow up is better. He did set Sarkar up in the earlier delivery pinning him deep in the crease, and reaps the rewards this time. Slightly wider, slightly shorter and forces him to have a flirt with the leather. Just that this one deviates to grope the edge and fly to a diving Wade to his left. The lack of feet the undoing. First blood drawn. Soumya Sarkar c Wade b Hazlewood 3(11)

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

5.1

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, no run, a yell of the lungs. Traps Sarkar in the crease turning him in his glance as the ball zips away to rap the pad. Pitching well down leg. Saves the review

4.6

Starc to Tamim, FOUR, cracks. Gets the friendly width with the shortened length to ally with and pounces on it like the hungry predator that he is. A rise on the toes with the bat horizontal as he cuts it away. Murderous

4.5

Starc to Tamim, no run, 145kph, looks for the blockhole. An inch shorter. Turned away with a wrist roll to square leg

4.4

Starc to Tamim, no run, 138kph, on a back of a length. A close to the body dab to backward point ensues

4.3

Starc to Tamim, no run, 145kph, in the tight channel around the fourth stump. A smart leave after a stroll across in hiding the stumps

4.2

Starc to Tamim, FOUR, 143kph, a toe-ended drive. And the outfield coupled with Starc's pace does the rest. Walks forward in his drive and closes the blade too as he looks to force it in the gap past mid-on. Successfully

4.1

Starc to Tamim, no run, on a good length with a hint of tail going away. Countered with a push from the crease into the off-side

3.6

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, 2 runs, back to the dragged back length. Nurdles it around the corner, placing it wide of the mopping fielder at fine leg to pinch a brace

3.5

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, no run, fullish. On off. Opens his blade in squeezing out the driving defence to point

3.4

Hazlewood to Tamim, 1 run, slightly tighter on middle and leg. On top of the bounce to nudge it into the on-side, in front of square

3.3

Hazlewood to Tamim, FOUR, the dash of arrogance. The stamp of swagger. Nearly takes down Sarkar with this slap. Jumps down the track, in anger. Backs away in the same motion as well and hammers it down the ground. Talk about giving something one's all

3.2

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, 1 run, just the hint of width. Waits on it does Sarkar, letting the ball get right close and opens the bat face at the very last moment in guiding it down to third man

3.1

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, no run, the good length spot in that nagging channel with the angle moving away. An angled batted response in jabbing it out

2.6

Starc to Tamim, no run, a maiden. A hop behind the line and a kill into the pitch. All straight batted

2.5

Starc to Tamim, no run, the sucker ball to follow. Obviously. Tamim with a wait on the back foot, wants a drive, but spots the line to be outside off and ignores

2.4

Starc to Tamim, no run, 141kph, in a tangle. All sorts of it. Indulges himself in a compulsive pull to a bumper. Too quick, too cramped. Ends up lobbing up off the glove, to fall short of second slip

2.3

Starc to Tamim, no run, hips up, gets himself inside the line to this shortened rib-tickler. Fends it away, down

2.2

Starc to Tamim, no run, more of the feeders on the full region outside off. A drive off the inside half of the bat to mid-off. Ahh, the pace

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, no run, gets the grip loosened to an extent, but the close to the body defences continue

1.5

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, no run, another mini shuffle. Across, behind, tall and bunted into the turf

1.4

Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, no run, drags the length back to bang the short of a good length spot around off. Behind the line quickly and standing up to tap the ball down in defence

1.3

Hazlewood to Tamim, 1 run, on the legs. Tickled down to fine leg. Some interest from the men around the bat, and the bowler of course. All a false dawn

1.2

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, and now a peach. Gets it to seam away. On the wobbly leather as it slants away to beat the edge

1.1

Hazlewood to Tamim, no run, welcomes himself with an appeal. Pings Tamim on the front pad flap. Pitching down leg to start off with. And then the height as well - nothing in his favour for the ump to oblige

Josh Hazlewood, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

0.6

Starc to Soumya Sarkar, no run, the yorker is out now. With the bat late in coming down to jam it out, the ball whizzes away to the keeper

0.5

Starc to Soumya Sarkar, no run, the scissor is out. Cutting Sarkar in half. A jaffa of a welcome, right in the corridor outside off and nipping in just enough to squeeze through the jabby defence. Between the dangle and the body

0.4

Starc to Tamim, 1 run, back to the fullish lines outside off. A pressing prod forward with a poke, as soft handed as ever, to run it down to third man off the outside half of the blade. Now the bat gets its first runs

0.3

Starc to Tamim, leg byes, FOUR, first runs. Up and running with a roll off the pad. Straying in line here is Starc, getting it a tad too straight. On the pads, past the glancing attempt and into the fine leg ropes

0.2

Starc to Tamim, no run, a plonk of the front foot out to cover the line of the sticks with another bat hoist to ignore a line just outside off. On a good length with good carry

0.1

Starc to Tamim, no run, gentle away movement, hardly threatening. The pace is though. Sharp and nippy around the fifth stump line as Tamim wants a sighter letting it go by

Tamim and Soumya Sarkar are at the crease. Tamim is on strike. Starc will open the attack

A huddle of yellow now as the openers walk out to the middle. Unsurprisingly the big (new) Mitch without the mo is set to start off. A strong cross breeze across the ground. His reputation gets two slips. Off and ready..

Okay time to stand up. To pay your respects to the flag. For the anthems..A decent crowd have made their way to the stands. Very typical of England. Typical of London getting back on their feet.

Smith: We would've had a bat as well. A bit overcast and it would be nice if we can get the ball swinging which it hasn't so far. A used wicket this so we thought it should take some spin. Hence Zampa comes in for Hastings. We were a bit off the other day and have some class bowlers with us who can turn it on for us. We usually play well in these high pressure games. Every game is a must win game for us from now and we should go well.

Mashrafe: We'd like to bat first. It looks like a very good wicket to bat on and should slow up a bit later on; so a pretty straightforward decision to bat first. One change - Mehedi Hasan comes in for Mosaddek. We felt we were a bowler short despite scoring 305 the last time. We have an exciting spinner coming in and hopefully he'd do the job for us. We are looking to bat first, score big and then defend the total. The Australia match (2005) was a long time ago but we'll look to take confidence from that. We do not have much of an option today, it is a do or die match for us.

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to bat

"It is a used pitch (obviously). There are few footmarks on the fuller side which Tahir used well the other day. Rather tectonic plates which is rather surprising for an Oval wicket which is usually white and wholesome. On the other side of the wicket (the Vauxhall end), the footmarks are more towards the back of a length spot. The balls being used look normal but for some reason they haven't been swinging this tournament. The overhead conditions should aid for that today. But eventually it might not come down to the pitch, it could be the overhead conditions and the rain that could be the determining factor tonight," says Ian Bishop in the official pitch report.

The weather is typically English. Gloomy, grey and with bouts of drizzles expected through the night. "Australia were a bit rusty, a bit lazy" reckons Ricky Ponting. "The wicket looks a bit dry. We saw Tahir get wickets the other day and with the wicket being a second game pitch, Zampa should play today. Historically when you get old and dry wickets in England the seam tends to hold in the surface a little bit. But even if the warm ups are anything to go by we should be in for a big score. The Aussies might consider switching the order a bit."

On this used track under lights, the Aussie strategy of loading their side up with pacers could be put to rest. Also the last thing the Aussies would want is Steve Smith having to cope a Tharanga - a suspension for poor over rates. All the omens in check for Adam Zampa making his way in. Could they also find a way to draft Chris Lynn in? Bangladesh meanwhile copped enough criticism for their finishing skills, or rather the lack of it. Doesn't quite make the case though for them to tinker around with their line-up. Hang in there, updates from the ground, the pitch and everything around it coming your way in a bit..

12.35 local time: A virtual knockout this. Both sides are coming off a less than ideal match. Another such game tonight could very likely check them out of the UK. Just that the rain stayed partial to Australia making them lose only a point. With the benchmark they've set in earlier Champions Trophies, Bangladesh certainly did punch above their weights, their expectations, their ranking. If only that were a guarantee for success too. Mashrafe seems to be doing his bit of playing out memories of the 2005-Cardiff upset. If only he finds Australia in a similar mood.

12:30 pm local time: London could hardly care. London should hardly care - about one silly cricket match. Still under the shadow of the ghastly attacks a couple of nights ago, we move a couple of miles away from the bridge to an elliptical circumference of green with only one intention - to provide an antidote from the pain, albeit for one fleeting moment. To move on. So, here we are, at The Oval, back to Group A. For the first encounter of this tourney where the ECB have to spend their quids on the halogen to light up the night sky. I am Vineet Anantharaman on behalf of the usual suspects starting off with..a welcome..

Preview by Tristan Holme

The events on and around London Bridge on Saturday night have not affected the Champions Trophy, despite the fact that The Oval is less than 4km away. Australia and Bangladesh both trained at the ground on Sunday ahead of their Group A encounter on Monday (June 5), with both teams declaring that they are comfortable with the security arrangements in place. Nevertheless the incident is bound to hang over the game.

In effect, this is a must-win affair for both teams. While Australia escaped from their meeting with New Zealand with a point after rain bailed them out, defeat against Bangladesh would leave their campaign in a precarious position. And having lost their opening match to England, Bangladesh need four points from their remaining two games. It may only be the fifth day of the tournament, but already there is no room for error.

For all of Bangladesh's improvement over the past three years, Australia are the natural favourites for this game. And yet there could be two leveling factors.

Firstly, the match will played on the same pitch that was used in South Africa's win over Sri Lanka on Saturday. It was not the sort of batting paradise on which Bangladesh's bowlers struggled against England, and after drying out further it should provide some assistance to the slower bowlers and the spinners. Australia are not known for their ability to temper their attacking instincts in such situations, and have been found out on more than one occasion.

Secondly, rain is expected to intervene in the evening, which could make the toss a key factor. If Bangladesh can take advantage of this as well as the preferable conditions, they could close the gap between the two teams and create the sort of memorable win that captain Mashrafe Mortaza was part of in Cardiff in 2005.

Before they can do so, they will need to find a better balance to their side - in the tournament opener on Thursday, their lack of a fifth bowler hurt them as England ran away with the game.

When: June 5, 2017 at 1:30 PM local time; 18:00 IST

Where: The Oval, London

What to expect: In South Africa's win over Sri Lanka on Saturday, footmark scuffs became apparent inside the opening 10 overs of the game and the general consensus was that 280 was probably a par score. The same pitch will be used for this game, when it should be even drier and slower. Both teams would do well to learn from the way that South Africa evaluated conditions and adapted. Meanwhile weather is a big concern - showers are expected in the evening, and look likely to affect the second half of the game.

Team News:

Australia: Steven Smith's side probably need to find a way to get spinner Adam Zampa into the side, putting John Hastings and Pat Cummins' places in the side under pressure. Otherwise there are unlikely to be changes, with Smith hoping for an improved performance from an opening game where he admitted they were "rusty".

Bangladesh: Mashrafe Mortaza has been thinking long and hard about the composition of his side after the decision to leave out a specialist bowler in favour of a batsman against England backfired. Mehedi Hasan seems likely to come in and provide an extra spinning option, at the expense of either Imrul Kayes or Sabbir Rahman.

- Australia and Bangladesh have not faced each other in an ODI since April 2011. Their World Cup encounter in 2015 was washed out without a ball being bowled.

- Australia lost their last fixture against subcontinental opposition at The Oval - in the 2013 Champions Trophy they were bowled out for 233 by Sri Lanka to lose by 20 runs.

- Of the players who have taken part in more than five ODIs this year, Mahmudullah has the highest average - 83. Yet Tamim Iqbal's record in 2017 is the more impressive one - he is third on that list, having scored 458 runs (to Mahmudullah's 166) at an average of 76.33

What they said:

"I know they were pretty fiery in the nets today. I copped quite a few short ones. Maybe they are listening, which is good." - Steve Smith confirms that Australia's bowlers have responded to his poor assessment of them after the New Zealand game.

"In the last game, we weren't able to take wickets in the middle overs. There a fifth bowler could have helped. Wickets matter. We have to look at the combination. We will have to think that if we were able to score 305 with eight batsmen, we can do it with seven batsmen as well. We are thinking about it. We are looking for the right balance." Mashrafe Mortaza considers the make-up of Bangladesh's team.
